In this brief monologue, the speaker reflects on the hybrid fitness scene, highlighting the absence of any governing body and the resulting uncertainty about how widespread steroid use might be. They criticize TikTok-driven narratives that frame hybrid training as a competition of how muscular one can become while also being able to run, suggesting that this focus on extreme aesthetics combined with performance will inevitably raise more questions about steroid usage. The speaker positions themselves as less interested in pure bodybuilding aesthetics and more oriented toward performance-driven training, warning that the growing emphasis on being "jacked" could drive increased scrutiny of steroid use within the community.

the hybrid scene, like, how prominent would steroid use be? I don't know. What I like about it is there's no governing body. You can't be the best at it. There's people on TikTok saying, trying to be the best hybrid athlete in the world, bro. This is why I, I'm not as focused on bodybuilding and aesthetics and things, and it's kind of performance-driven, is because I think when everything starts becoming about how jacked you are versus how much you can perform, then that's where all of the questions will start getting asked more and more and more. Whereas I think hybrid, hybrid on TikTok has become how jacked can you be and how much can you run. Yeah. Which is making that the question called in a lot more.
